The fastidious way in which he tested the cameras together at iso 12800 assures me that he is 100% correct.
Seriously, this looks like a 1Ds3 sensor with Digic4 noise reduction, which seems to be a bit disappointing compared to Nikon\'s, and compared to using NeatImage appropriately. It\'s great to be able to shoot jpegs at high iso, when absolutely necessary, but I haven\'t seen anything yet that suggests that there is any clear water between this new camera and the 1Ds3 at very high isos. And I\'ve seen some pretty appalling examples that are going to make the Nikonians laugh, like the one I linked to just now. We shall see.
